Here are some photos that MMS took on the 101105 before returning to S'pore

Hello. I just came back from Mega Camp;7-10 November;Bintan;Nirawana Gardens.
Day 1
my group: MMS-modest motivating, survivor.Theresa,group instructor, made us do the "Check-in" thingy like introducing ourselves.it was quite FUN.after that we went for the Walkatobi Trail.climbing steep slopes and all. and unfortunately, i broke my egg.then, i bonded with my group members and Theresa(terry sir). we made fun of her, kept on calling her horny honey. HAHA(:
i didn't expect the showering place to be like that. only a curtain to cover. and the toilets have no flush. but overall, as the days passed, i got used to the limited facilities and i just made do with whatever is there for me.
the first day was really tough for our group leader, Lee Xuan and Wanyi. They had a hard time motivating us. Theresa too. Theresa felt very disappointed with us.
Day 2
it was a splendid day. the devotion that day was kinda special.had it in Mana Mana Beach.i remember what Mrs Tng said during devotion. Camp ABLE stands for: A Better Leader Everyday. and we had singspiration. it was very united and beautiful=D. then, MMS did kayaking & rafting. i kayaked with Jill.i think we kayaked for 4km. had a wonderful time kayaking with her.next up was rafting. both rafts broken apart when it reached the sea.it was a very good experience. oh yes, my team's raft was called Sandy. and the other was called Titanic. actually we wanted to name it Titanic but then, all of us remembered the show and how the ship got wrecked. so we changed it.in the end, both rafts broke apart. HAHA(:
then we also had some 'lesson time'. it was extremely fun over at Uncle Sanath's talk. logically speaking, Uncle Sanath's talk was more interesting than Mr Arthur's.
and during the evening, it was extremely dark there. we had the night confidence walk. and i walked with one of the group members of group 6-BALAM, rachel. both of us screamed like mad. i didn't expect our instructors to be hiding in the bushes and frightening us out of nowhere. i wasn't prepared for it. and i cried for the first scare. i only teared like 3 tears? haha(: but rachel didn't know lah. sigh, i gotta be more brave. along the way, it was getting scarier and scarier but in the end, we finished the walk w/o switching on our torches. WHEW! HALLELUJAH! PRAISE YE THE LORD!
Day 3
that was ytd.MMS did archery & Teambuilding stations.we did the Whale watch first and we broke the record. balancing it for 192 seconds. but later on, Balam broke ours, they balanced it for 300 seconds. however, after we did archery, we came back to the Whale Watch and we sat on it for 18.46mins. we balanced it REAL WELL! my shooting was terrible. no bulleye of course. kept shooting at the white part. we had a very big campfire at the beach. we had BBQ food. yummy!and each group did a meaningful performance for their instructors. and in return, our instructors sang us a beautiful song, When You Say Nothing At All.it was really BEAUTIFUL. after that, Miss Yoong said a short speech.and it started to drizzle. so everyone slept in the function room, with air-con.that was SUPERB! had a good night's rest. but in the morning, i seem to get flu. but i'm alright now.
yupps. no doubt we still have the touch up on the 'lesson' that we had ytd. once again, Mr Arthur's talk was terrible.
and i don't know what happened to priscilla, she became so high all of a sudden. i guess it was because of Pringles. haha(: then we went to the other side of the function room. and Uncle Sanath told us those interesting stories that happened during the night confidence walk. i couldn't stop laughing. his laughing is contagious man!
these 4 days of Mega camp, i feel that i have become more enthusiastic. and more confident of myself.i'm beginning to miss Bintan, Camp ABLE. and i'm looking forward to the outing(:

When You Say Nothing At All-Ronan Keating
It's amazing how you can speak right through my heart
Without saying a word, you can light up the dark
Try as I may I can never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing
The smile on your face let's me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hands says you'll catch me wherever I fall
You say it best, when you say nothing at all
All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near you drown out the crowd
Try as they may they can never define
What's been said between your heart and mine
The smile on your face let's me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hands say you'll catch me wherever I fall
You say it best, when you say nothing at all
The smile on your face let's me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hands say you'll catch me wherever I fall
You say it best, when you say nothing at all
That smile on your face
The truth in your eyes
The touch of your hands lets me know that you need me
